UPDATE: I had such high hopes for this product (see original post below) but now that I have been using it for less than a month:
1) I can no longer trigger it to come on through wrist activation-even after resetting etc
2) The distance calculator for running is off by about .2 miles
3) the brightness of the watch face (regardless of the background) has decreased overtime and nothing seems to be able to fix it
4) The watch is hit or miss in terms of activating it with touch so now not only does it not wrist activated, you never know if you will be able to activate it or not with touch
Original POST: I have used several fitness trackers (Fitbit, Garmin) and recently got fed up with my Fitbit because I could never read the watch face if I was outside. I wanted to try something new, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I like to use my fitness tracker for overall steps, calories and to see overall mileage during a run as well as overall calories burned during other workouts. I decided to get a refurbed Amazfit as the price was incredible. Here is what I LOVE about the watch and a few comments about what I will need to get used to:
LOVE
-there are so many watch faces to chose from, and everyone I have tried makes it so easy to see the information no matter where I am
-love the look of this watch, it’s a bigger face than my old Fitbit and I think the design is excellent
-battery life is great
-it was so easy to set up and the app is easy to navigate
-love all the different workout options that are included, I swim a lot in the summer and it was fun to track it
-just love it overall
GETTING USED TO
-it presents calories as Kcals and there is no way to change this, so I am learning how to convert to regular calories burned, a little annoying but considering how much I love the watch overall, not a big deal
After two days with my Amazfit, I can’t imagine ever using a Fitbit again. Even if the watch lasts only a year (hopefully not the case) at less than $40 it was a great purchase.
Kindle Customer –
I love this watch except for the band with constantly springs off at the least convenient moment. I suggest getting the velcro band. I have lost my band multiple times doing work in the yard. It went like a champ until the other day, then it constantly buzzed, went dead and won’t charge. We will see how their customer service is and if they will help me replace it. I would suggest getting the Assurion device plan in the future. The $10 is worth the 3 years of coverage.

My bride of 40 years and I had been wearing fitbits for several years-and noticed about all we can get out of a fitbit is a few years before it starts screwing up. Sometime the plastic holding the band breaks, the band breaks, the display starts dimming and attempts at brightening end in failure. Yep. when the warrenty runs out….the watch runs out. After going thru 5 or 6 Bitc…oh,,,sorry..fitbitkh. We gave up. Bride is very happy with this watch. So is my wallet! Just been a month since she started using. She is going on her 2nd recharge
as opposed to every 3 days with her dead lux!

To frame this review, I’d like to point out that I purchased this entirely for sleep and exercise tracking and am using a normal digital wristwatch for normal watch functions.
This thing has great battery life, looks sharp, and is a great size for readability. The UI is fairly easy to use and the touchscreen is responsive.
I haven’t used all of the features but lets go over the ones that I have.
SLEEP TRACKING:
This is the first device I’ve used that does sleep tracking and it seems to do a good job of it. The graphs are informative and it has helped me tighten up my sleep schedule automatically. I’m not sure of the science behind how it detects different states of sleep but it seems to be at least somewhat accurate. On days that show that I had more deep sleep, I certainly do feel more rested.
MUSIC CONTROL:
I use this to control my music or podcasts when working out. It works great and includes all the buttons you would need for that.
ALEXA:
The Alexa feature works great using the built in microphone. I do miss the built in speaker of the Bip 5 and the dedicated button that allow you to access this feature quickly but you can only fit so much into a small package.
I use the Alexa feature regularly to set a quick countdown timer, a nap alarm, or to create reminders. It has also been useful for settling debates quickly e.g. “What quarterback has the most passing yards of all time”.
WORKOUT TRACKING:
I’ve only used this with stationary workouts on an exercise bike but it does a good job of tracking and graphing your workout.
WEATHER:
The built in weather app works well and includes sunrise/sunset data as well as a 7 day forecast. It’s good info at a glance but lacks detailed forecast information such as hourly forecasts.
NOTIFICATIONS:
The notifications system works well. You opt-in to each service you’d like to receive notifications for and your band will vibrate when one comes in. It’s great at a glance. You can deny calls from the watchface, and send preset text messages (that you can customize in the app) when rejecting the call. I really wish they had programmed it to where you could respond to text messages with canned messages as well. Simple “Yes”, “No”, “I’m on the way”, “Running late” etc would be extremely helpful.
APPS / WATCH FACES:
I counted roughly 30 free watch faces in their app store. The vast majority are paid options but I was able to find several free that suited me.
There aren’t a lot of apps to choose from and I didn’t find anything in the app store that seemed useful to me in my daily life.
POMODORO TIMER:
This is a very simple feature but it can be life changing if you use it correctly. Basically this is a timer where you alternate between focusing on a task and taking a break. A popular setup is 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5 minute break.
I regularly use this in my work to make sure that I stay on task, while not sitting on a single task so long that I am spinning tires.
